UVA astronomer Kelsey Johnson questions the cosmos in her new book

USA Astronomer Kelsey Johnson takes us to the edge of scientific understanding about the universe in her new book Into The Unknown, tackling the Big Bang, black holes, and the nature of the cosmos. Kelsey is our guest for Books & Brews at Pale Fire Brewing in Harrisonburg at 7pm on Tuesday, January 13, 2026. WMRA’s Chris Boros asked Kelsey about her new book, her love of space, and the nature of just how small we are in relation to the universe.

Chris Boros is WMRA’s Program Director and local host from 10am-4pm Monday-Friday.
